'95 Celicas Rock

[Slammy1]

I've had my '95 Celica for a very long time. Bought it from a bank with 30k miles, I'm currently at 291k. The other day I saw one in Sam's parking lot and checked out the odometer, 302k.

Still running strong, needs new tires.

I thought it was weird, still original engine. Manual transmission lasted until 240k too. It's a GT gold package.

It's a GT gold package.

Gold is best!

I don't know if gold means anything aside from some extra flash and gold letters, still glad I have it considering I've driven it around the equator 10 times.

That alltrac is such a rare car. I've only seem 2-3 of them in person.

I really like that sleeper car.

Is a 95 celica powered by 5s-fe ?

I like the alltrac too, but that's not my power supply. I believe I am the ST204, and if I understand a brief G-search the 5s-fe came in the '96+ models. EDIT: (I don't, it is the 5s-fe, d'oh)./EDIT

Nothing spectacular, really, aside from the high mileage. Not even leather seats. I keep wanting to get an old muscle car as a second car (I like the mid-60s Chevelles for price/looks) but I want to drive in the snow and don't want a show car for that. I've just enjoyed 10 years of no car payments (repairs still have not overtaken the cost of car payments).

5sfe is cheap the maintain. Cheap to replace as well. $500 gets u a low milage motor. Its hard to kill one of those motors. Our 96 camry is leaking/burning a little oil but no issues.

Yeah, last repair was the PC board and valve cover, full tune up at the beginning of Summer. I thought about replacing it then but got a cheap used board (took 2 tries to get a good one). Biggest problem has been the front end, a friend told me it was a known issue but I've gone though 3 axles. Since I put the bra back on police don't pull me over so much, that's the only real down side but as boring as it sounds I do not drink, do drugs, or anything so they're just a nuisance. I work at a clay plant so it's hard to keep clean.
